I know you guys have given advise on video cards recently but the one I want needs to have Video Input.

I want good video input/output, so I can watch tv too and record videos I will make for business presentation.

What is the best price I can get with all that?

I hate to recommend ATI, but that's your best solution for what you want (capturing video, watching TV).

ATI Radeon 64MB VIVO edition = 贵.

That's your best bet as far as price/performance goes. You can get an All-In-Wonder, but they push 赨 and only have 32MB (at that price anyways).

Well, I hate to recommend ATI because of bad experiences in the past (*cough* where are my DRIVERS DAMMIT? *cough*), über-lame performance (ATI Rage chipset = crap), and overpriciness.

Right now, I'm running an nVidia geForce2 GTS 32MB - and I plan to get a geForce2 Pro 64MB with TV-out.

ATI is a better solution for video capture / editing / etc... but for r4w sp33d, you can't touch nVidia. (All you Radeon-2 junkies can suck on that one. I'll be running a fifth-generation geForce by the time that thing makes production. :P )

hey, you cant diss the ATi Rade chipsets. ive had Über luck with them in the past. my old emachines (which is in pieces now ) had a RAge Pro2 and it still gave me 45+ FPS in counter strike on 64 megs of ram with god damn 466 celeron. so stfu.

hrm.... Radeon an in wonder... ooohh.... *drool*

Sure, you can get 45+ fps in CS no problem - it's based off the Half-Life (Quake II) engine. Even my old S3 ViRGE could crank 45+ in HL with an AMD K6-2 400 and 64MB.

Oh wait. I never used the ViRGE much - I bought a Voodoo2 and ran at a "mind-blowing" 80+ fps. (Yes, I tweaked the hell out of it.)
On a totally unrelated topic, does anyone want a Voodoo2 with one working TMU and thinking it has 9MB of RAM?

/me wonders just what kind of pansy-ass games we'd be playing now if it weren't for Carmack...

Frightening thought, isn't it?
